AWG and Viva Bolivia have joined forces to create Hype Sports, the Bolivian company’s new white label sports platform.
The objective is to bring new formats and productions closer to the public, AWG promotes the culture and sports in each region, uniting passions and interests between protagonists and users. Pablo Friedman, Sports Product Owner of the company said about it: “We produce all our content platforms from a local point of view, creating teams with experienced content leaders in every country. This gives our products the guarantee of a local relevance”.
On July 7, 2022, AWG and Viva Bolivia launched a project which they worked on together since the beginning of this year called Hype Sports. With the World Cup as the engine, both teams set the goal of developing a complete sports platform in which users participate to win great prizes, in addition to accessing videos, podcasts and exclusive editorial articles on local and international sports.
The incentivised promotion consists of two trips to the Football World Cup Qatar 2022. Two Hype Sports users will have the opportunity to experience the greatest Football tournament watching live games, knowing the local culture and meeting fans from other countries around the world. Also for those who are not lucky enough to win the grand prize, there will be PlayStations, big screen TVs, audio systems, cell phones, Google Chromecasts, soccer jerseys and data packages as complementary prizes.
“Audience in Rusia 2018 had a 3.500 million viewers record and the final game had four times more viewers than the Super Bowl 2018. For Qatar 2022 the expectation is to have an audience of 5.000 million. Football audiences are growing especially in Latam, with 35% of the total digital content consumed in the region. This year’s opportunity is perfect for a brand to get more recognition and considerable business improvements. That was the basis for our deal with Viva Bolivia to perform a unique platform” said Friedman.
AWG strengthens its position in white label sports content services for mobile telecommunications companies:
